Has anyone realized the Master List is over 10% of the capacity of the Magic?

This is based on the Magic being SOLD OUT!

[moocow35]

WOW! Pages and pages since this morning. I think if I had internet at work, I would be in serious trouble! (maybe thats why they put that stinking internet cop on our computers)

Happy birthday Rebecca! Enjoy your special night!

Happy anniversary to Ken and Shari, and Kimberly!

Welcome to our newcomers! Renae and family, and Bruce, Sandy and family! Glad you were able to book and found us!

The docs are printing and will be mailed next week!?? That is the best news ever!

Thanks for the reminder about bug spray. I bought some stuff from Avon, but asked my derm, and he said anything with deet.

Boy Guys!

I loved reading about our sailaway... I WAS RIGHT THERE! I would LOVE to help with holding up the banner!

I have a request for all of you prayer warriors out there... ​

This Saturday I have to take a Civil Service exam. As a 12 year State of NJ employee, I've taken my share of these things, BUT this one is different. Due to falling through many cracks in the antiquated system, I must now take an exam for 2 titles down from the work I have been doing for the past 3-5 years. After managing a new project for the past 3 years, and passing the Manager test, and winning Civil Service appeals, the Dept of Personnel decided I shouldn't have been allowed to take the Manager exam. When they got to my name, they requested my name be removed from the official list... and it was. Yes, I am still doing that job, but a new PM has been brought in so the team looks balanced on paper.

I havenot programmed in 7 years, and have been told that this test is designed for programmewr/analysts. Those in the group who I've been supervising will be taking the same test along with me.

I guess the humiliation everyday, of coming into work, with everyone knowing I've been taken off the list, and must now take an entry test after being consumed with project planning, deadlines, personnel, etc. (I've been there 12 years, and now due to reg changes, and title consolidations, I must take and pass this test)

It's just been so tough. I've been so upset over this, I stayed home today in bed, with my heart racing like I've just run a marathon... totally wiped out. Yjese past 6 months have taken their emotional toll. I'm feelling better now, but the mountain on Saturday sure looks big to me!

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. Poor Joe (DH) hates to see me so upset. I'd really like to quit, but with retirement and pension 6-7 years away, it's just not realistic. Thanks for letting me ramble... and thanks for your prayers and your support!

Hi everyone!

I heard from Susan this week, and the pins are being delivered to her in about two weeks. Apparently there were some delays getting our order in with the company and John adjusting the design or colors, so we are cutting this really close. Susan will take out the Eastbounders orders and then mail them to me.

I know some of you wanted me to mail the pins in advance, but since we are cutting this so close (the stress is killing me) I don't think this will be possible. I plan to bag them all up, label them, and pass them out in the terminal, and at the sailaways. If I miss you, make sure your stateroom number is on the master list so I can deliver them to you.

Hopefully the two week time she gave me is accurate. If not, the alternate plan is Sarah (Malificent59) will get the pins from Susan and bring them along with her to the port.

One month from today I will be sitting at the show. Funny Linda, I did the same thing at work all day today! My co-workers think that I am nuts!

Now, I suppose you've forgotten all the FORTRAN and COLBAL that you learned.
Good Luck!

Georgie, good luck on your test...I know you will pass it with flying colours!!!!

I have seen what you are going through first hand...I also work for a government agency here in Canada and have seen this happen too. It is too bad, it is obvious you can do the job...

Happy Birthday

Happy Anniversary :thewave:

to everyone CELEBRATING - Hope you enjoyed to the fullest......

so many to keep up with right now..............

Once again, WELCOME to all the newbies - everyone is catching on real fast

GEORGIE: You know you can do it. Take a deep breath, close your eyes and do what you have to - show them............ You'll come through with flying colors. I know, easy to say on our end -----

Keep the faith, kiddo

WHERE IS THAT SAIL AWAY BANNER AGAIN

 

[EpcotKilterFan]

Good Luck Georgie!!!!!


You will be great!

Debbie

 

[Scott H]

We leave for our 5 mile dog walk and you guys chat up a storm. Gotta love this group. My road trip starts tomorrow and looks like I will be out about 7 days. The good side of the trip is I will get to another Walmart and maybe Sierra Trading Post. (Kelli not the Cheyenne one)

Happy Birthday Rebecca.

Leslie, re DVC I kinda recall getting a discount on some places at DTD and even in the emporium on Main Street. I tried to go to the DVC member site and it was too busy to get access.

Georgie, All I can say is I understand and thoughts and prayers will be there. Funny how what makes good old common sense is not the way things work when it comes to state Government. Hang in there. The pension these days is worth it not that I have 2 years one month and 16 days till I finish up. But who is really counting.

 

[DisneyPinDiva]

Georgie: Good luck... prayers and pixie dust will be with you all day Saturday! While you're testing.. just keep thinking... 4 weeks from today I'm sailing away!!! Keep those calming ocean breezes in mind!

Rebecca!! Hope you have a great evening!
